Italy’s political row over judges’ lenient handling of migrant criminals has intensified after a 42-year-old Bangladeshi shop assistant accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in the outskirts of Turin was released from prison after just two nights.
The crime occurred on Saturday, August 29th in Madonna di Campagna, a multi-ethnic district in the northern Italian city.
According to the girl’s account, she entered a minimarket to buy three fruit drinks for her younger siblings. She said the shop assistant gave her a drink, asked whether she had a boyfriend and how old she was, before sexually assaulting her.
